Description
Vintage Hand Sewn - BEADED Black COCKTAIL DRESS - 1980sHand made -
BASIC and yet NOT-SO-BASIC beaded black cocktail dress.
I made this dress in 1984 for several holiday parties.
Spaghetti straps
Fully lined bodice and upper part of skirt
Dressy black crepe
Double tiered sheer skirts
Drop waist-line (flattering for those with a not-so-defined waistline)
Hand beaded skirts in GLASS iridescent beads
(individually sewn!)
Body is a body-skimming yet un-structured fit.
100% polyester.
____________________________________________________
Size is approximately a size 12 (sewing pattern) which loosely translates to a 8-10 ready-made size.
My dress form is a size 8 and this dress fits "Aggie" loosely.
Measurements -
From back (front and back are the same) to waistline -
13 1/2" (34.3 cm)
Bust measurement at underarm -
38" (96.5 cm) slightly stretchy
Note - this bodice has no darts.
This is mostly my design. I revised it - using a commercial sewing pattern from that era for the basic shape.
Dress has been worn, is clean and in good condition.
NO flaws, wear or damage.
__________________________________________________
Dry clean only.
Spot clean if necessary using only a damp cloth.
DO NOT IRON!
Crepe fabric may melt and beads may shatter.
Use a steamer or hang in a steamy bathroom to release wrinkles if necessary.
